I know there's lists but I'm wondering if anyone has any personal opinions on what they would call a "must read" I'm sitting on 7 credits on audible, so I'm open to suggestions. I'm open to anything to do with Bitcoin, our financial system, or anything else that people this is important to know in this space.

I've listened to: Broken Money Bitcoin is Venice The Bitcoin Standard Check your financial privilege The Creature from Jekyll island.

The Genesis Book is awkwardly missing! Not sure the audiobook for that is out yet but I know it was in the works earlier this year.

I'm Not Your Bruh, out this year by Bitcoin Magazine, is pretty good but it's mostly about parenting rather than Bitcoin/finance specifically.

Otherwise, all the early books by Nassim Taleb -- fooled by randomness or antifragile

A warning: if you’ve never studied material on the IMF, it will make you VERY sad. The Bitcoin stuff at the end is all that much more invigorating because of this though.

I've learned quite a bit about the central banks, and the IMF and yes, it has been incredibly eye opening, and incredibly sad.

I can't read code unfortunately.

you don't have to! The book is "geek entertainment" designed for people who DONT read code! The books biggest fans tend to skip the three code chapters haha. It's very unique!

Thanks. I picked it up on audible

It’s more of a technical book with coding samples so this might be a bit different on audible.

Audible usually comes with pdfs of all of the pictures in a book. It should be fine, but it may be a bit more difficult to listen to at work, since I drive all day.

Resistance Money?

I'll definitely put it on the list. It's come up twice now

Cryptoeconomics by Voskuil ... It can be pretty pedantic, and it has some maxi narrative violations in it, but there are quite a few ideas in it that are novel and/or taken for granted.

I'll put it on the list, thanks.
